I wish I’d taken pictures of it as it’s looked for the last couple of months.
Basically since we’ve moved, this room has been a room of boxes. I’ve gone through a few things – unpacked most of my costumes and put them away in the closet, trying to make room. We cleared a space for our shelves, but that’s about all we’d had the time/energy for with Dragoncon looming.
This past weekend we cleared out a spot along the wall and finally brought the desk my aunt and uncle gave me over. Finally having that there – and finally being able to take my sewing machine and stuff out of the kitchen and put it where it belongs – really motivated us to get moving on it. The past two nights we’ve really worked going through boxes, throwing stuff away, putting stuff away and just generally trying to knock it out. It’s still got a long way to go, so I’ll probably keep posting pictures as we go.
The room as it looks right now, when you first walk in. To the left is the closet, and another shelf. The shelf that’s along the wall to the left I think we’re going to move to the far wall, where the stack of bins are now.
I find the weirdest stuff going through boxes and bins – one bin was full of scraps and material and notions and pattern pieces of everything we were working on for Dragoncon last year – it hasn’t been touched since then. I found a bag of fabric scraps that came along when we moved – turns out it was trashbag from months ago that never got thrown out. And clothes! I found so many just random clothes mixed in with stuff, socks, t-shirts, you name it. That’s what the pile of random clothes on the floor in the first picture is – all the “normal” clothes I found.
And here’s my new desk! Right now it’s just got a bunch of stuff on it that got set there because we didn’t want in the way while we were unpacking – like the giant mound of clay, for one thing.
I haven’t decided what to put in the shelves at the very top. The drawers to the right are going to be for my patterns. There are more shelves underneath, and that’s got various small bins and containers of… stuff. LOL.
